The cumulative scoring average for the field was also the lowest ever, at 71.752. When someone has claimed the Green Jacket with a very low score in the past, however, Augusta National has often got much tougher. Tiger Woods shot 18 under to win his first Masters in 1997; 12 months later, Mark O’Meara won with nine under.

Brock Random Thoughts: On The Masters This week is Masters Week.  The first major of the year in mens golf.  The Masters signifies the start of spring (along with baseballs Opening Day) in the United States.  And its got as much, if not more history, than the other three majors (PGA Championship, U.S. Open, British Open) combined.
